The Other Baron (OOC)

https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/26370/?p=1238396#p1238396

It was not mentioned specifically that this were his children.

The kids are mentioned here. So I do think they were at the table.

Whoops, sorry, it was a bit buried in the rest of it:

I had not noticed till I came back next time someone posted. I kept meaning to check (since your 'I'll give it a try.' could have meant you had added the roll) but have been out of range.

I thought the specific wording was "I know" so that the guy had to be at the dinner too, maybe as a servant.
If we were amongst the last people who've seen the girl. Maybe we should check on the others who were at the mayor's that night. Only thing I can think of at the moment.

If the guys cousin was attacked at the the other baron's by Norbert's dog, that could mean he is affiliated with that baron too. But why would he have easy access to this house...? (I'm sorry I can't remember which one is chlodomer and which is Childerbert.)

Was all of this staged to frame us?

Yep. He is clearly convinced he knows stuff. If someone told him, that would probably be enough to convince him, though.
It was just you, the mayor, his wife and two children and the servant that let you in.

But most of the town probably knows about that meeting.
That only indicates that his cousin had access over there, and he has access over here, and that they have access to each other.

This is a rural community, it is suspicious that they have such good reports of activities way over on the other side of the valley or in the village.

You did not recognise any of the 'attackers', so you did not see them around here last night. That does not mean much, you did not explore the house and the staff much, and you did not get to see much of the attackers (Albert would be able to pick some of them out from a crowd, though), but you don't think they necessarily work here.
Because the baron let them in?
I don't know about 'all this' but there is an element of frame going on.

You have Decipher. Do you maybe want to roll to try to put things together with the facts your PC has? +INT or +WIS, with appropriate type of information based on which.

With Decipher, even on a 6- you won't fail to put something together, though it will be bad.
On a 7-9 you will get a suggestion of where to look next.
On a 10+ you will realise a concrete lead.
On a 12+ you will also realise something extra important.

You Character has been living this and may have picked up on or remember things the player has missed or forgotten... or the GM was not clear enough about.

Oh, yes.

I thought the decipher was an automatic skill. As in, the player has to figure it out and than the character deciphers it automatically

If the player figures it out then they don't need a roll, it is just truth.

Per the rules, skills mean you don't 'fail', even on a 6-

The fact that you have a skill also changes the opportunities you might get to try things at all. That helps encourage playing to ones strengths.

Who is 'Igor'?

The rest will come after.

My wife once got herself kidnapped in a larp to try to find out who was behind some other kidnappings. That does not seem the best course of action for Norbert :)

Oh dear!
Phew!
Yeah. That is a common Trope. :)

In Monster of the Week, the Mundane (character class) even has a move that includes "Whenever a monster captures you, you mark experience".
Maybe not by these guys. I don't think the actually know all that much. They smell more like ... patsies?

Nixon, I wrote Nixon! You should check your eyes!

Wow. humblest apologies. I don't know how I could have made such a mistake. I never misread thing! :)

I will post an answer in a few hours when not on my phone.

Probably stating the obvious here... But no one expects you to answer within... X hours. (X not being a Roman numeral. It is, but not now. )

10 hours! Got it! Should I wait? :)

Fixed that for you Vagius ☺️

More like pretentius. :)

But one forgives you. :)

lol :)

How old is this man with a broken knee? Cause if he's considerably younger than Albert, he's going to give him an earful right now.
